BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The following includes information that may be useful in understanding the present disclosure. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art nor material to the presently described or claimed inventions, nor that any publication or document that is specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates generally to the field of diaper changing apparatus of existing art and more specifically relates to a shield for use with diaper changing pads.
RELATED ART
RELATED ART
[0003] An important part of taking care of an infant is the changing of diapers. The process of changing a diaper typically consists of using a diaper changing pad placed atop a diaper changing table, lying the infant down on the diaper changing pad, removing the soiled diaper and securing a fresh diaper to the infant. However, during the period between removal of the soiled diaper and application of the fresh diaper, a problem known all too well by parents and caregivers, is that the infant will often urinate and/or defecate before the fresh diaper is applied.
This is of particular concern during certain phases of the infant's growth where diarrhea is common and is usually "explosively" evacuated.

Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-12
[0004] This results in an excessive amount of time spent cleaning surrounding areas with disinfecting wipes, carpet cleaner and deodorizer. Additionally, one must also pre-treat and launder changing pads, bedding, and other fabrics with the same involved techniques used when washing the infant's clothing. This can be quite the headache and energy expenditure, especially during the night as it is cutting into the parent/caregiver's already disrupted sleep schedule. Thus, a suitable solution is desired.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-12 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to diaper changing apparatus and more particularly to a diaper changing shield. Generally, the diaper changing shield may be placed at a (bottom) end of any changing surface underneath a changing pad and may act as an upright shield during diaper changes. In some embodiments, the upright shield may include the ability to fold and unfold. The diaper changing shield may be approximately 14-15 inches wide and 16 inches in height.
[0019] A fitted sheet may be provided and configured to slide over the upright shield. The fitted sheet may be waterproof on the inside and cloth on the outside to absorb waste and prevent the waste from leaking downward. As such, the fitted sheet may shield other items in the room, such as carpets, walls, blinds, and clothing, from waste such as urine or liquid feces, that may be excreted by the infant during the diaper change (particularly forcefully evacuated liquid feces as in 'explosive diarrhea'). The fitted sheet may then be removed and machine washed when soiled.
[0020] Referring now more specifically to the drawings by numerals of reference, there is shown in FIGS. 1-7, various views of a shield assembly 100. As shown, the shield assembly 100 may include at least one arm 110, a shield frame 120 and a shield cover 130.
As shown in FIGS.
1-3, the shield assembly 100 may be used with a diaper changing pad 5. The diaper changing pad may rest on a horizontal surface 10 and may include a top side 6 opposite a bottom side 7 relative the horizontal surface 10 (the bottom side 7 being the side in which contacts the horizontal surface and the pad top side 6 being the side in which an infant is placed for a diaper change).

Particularly, as shown in FIG. 4, the shield cover 130 may include an outer shell 131 having an outer surface 132, a closed end 133 opposite a substantially open end 134, and an interior 135 having an inner surface 136 (FIG. 7). As demonstrated in FIGS. 3-6, the open end 134 may be configured to slide over the frame top end 123 of the shield frame 120 and encompass the shield frame 120. Preferably, the shield cover 130 may be fitted to the shield frame 120. As such, the shield cover 130 may include a height and width substantially equal to the shield frame 120.
Particularly, as shown in FIG. 4, the shield cover 130 may include an outer shell 131 having an outer surface 132, a closed end 133 opposite a substantially open end 134, and an interior 135 having an inner surface 136 (FIG. 7). As demonstrated in FIGS. 3-6, the open end 134 may be configured to slide over the frame top end 123 of the shield frame 120 and encompass the shield frame 120. Preferably, the shield cover 130 may be fitted to the shield frame 120. As such, the shield cover 130 may include a height and width substantially equal to the shield frame 120.
[0028] In other embodiments, the shield cover 130 may include a greater height than the shield frame 120. For example, the open end 134 of the shield cover 130 may be configured to extend over and cover the pad bottom end 9 of the diaper changing pad 5. This may enable the shield cover 130 to contain any waste thereon, and also enable the shield cover 130 to be folded prior to removal of the shield cover 130 from the shield frame 120, thereby preventing the waste from dripping onto the pad bottom end 9 of the diaper changing pad 5. In some examples, the shield cover 130 may extend between 2-5 inches over the pad bottom end 9 of the diaper changing pad 5.
[0029] Preferably, as shown in FIG. 7, the outer surface 132 may be made from a first material 137 and the inner surface 136 may be made from a second material 138.
Particularly, the first material 137 may be an absorbent material configured to absorb the waste and at least partially prevent the waste from leaking downward (via gravity). For example, in some embodiments, the absorbent material may be cloth. The shield cover 130 may thus preferably be removable from the Date Recue/Date Received 2022-04-12 shield frame 120, enabling the shield cover 130 to be washed (or in some embodiments disposed of). The second material 138 may preferably be a waterproof material. For example, the waterproof material may include polyester, nylon, etc.

[0030] In use, the user may place the diaper changing pad 5 on the horizontal surface 10 (such as a changing table) and insert the at least one arm 110 (in some embodiments, the pair of arms 110) between the diaper changing pad 5 and the horizontal surface 10 at the pad bottom end 9 of the diaper changing pad 5, such that the shield frame 120 stands vertically at the pad bottom end 9 of the diaper changing pad 5. The user may then attach the shield cover 130 to the shield frame 120 to cover at least the area defined by the left side 121, the right side 122, the frame top end 123 and the frame bottom end 124 of the shield frame 120. Particularly, the user may slide the open end 134 of the shield cover 130 over the frame top end 123 of the shield frame 120 until the open end 134 of the shield cover 130 reaches the frame bottom end 124 of the shield frame 120 and the shield cover 130 completely encompasses the shield frame 120. In some embodiments, the user may continue to slide the open end 134 of the shield cover 130 over the pad bottom end 9 of the diaper changing pad 5 also.
[0031] The user may then place their infant on the diaper changing pad 5 and change the diaper. During the diaper change, waste may soil the shield cover 130, whilst the shield cover 130 shields and prevents the waste from reaching other objects in the room. After the diaper change, the user may then remove the shield cover 130 from the shield frame 120 and wash or dispose of the shield cover 130. In some embodiments, prior to removal of the shield cover 130, the user may fold the portion of the shield cover 130 that is extended over the pad bottom end 9 of the diaper changing pad 5, thereby containing any waste thereon and preventing the waste from dripping.
